Which SCT?

Hello,

SCT seems to be the tuner of choice on this forum. Which SCT should I get for a 2006 F350 6.0? I kind of like the livewire as it looks like it has some gauges as well.

As I already had gauges, I opted for the X3.

Well you have to decide if you want seperate analog gauges or use like you said the LiveWire or even the touchscreen extreme for both tuning and gauges. Both of these allow custom tuning and have built in gauges. If you go with lets say the X3, you will need to buy seperate gauges. Most important- EGT, tranny temp, fuel pressure, boost, water temp, and oil temp.

Note. No SCT tuners are capable of monitoring fuel pressure. You will have to buy an analog fuel pressure gauge.

Thanks for the replies. I decided on an Edge Insight CS for monitoring for now and will get a separate fuel pressure gauge. One year until warranty is up.

I hope you already have done head studs for your 6.0L before you add the SCT and mess with tunes. 6.oh no's don't really like tuners too much. Read in the 6.0L forum, and you'll read many failures on MODDED trucks.

Yes, I have done my research and plan to fix ERG, get a coolant filter, etc. Not for sure whether I will mod it, but if I do will get the ARP studs.
